Posted by michael on from the okay,-who-forgot-the-tomatoes dept.

Darl and Chris made a presentation titled 'Defending Intellectual Property Rights in a Digital Age'. One protester gave out copies of Linux to all that attended.

  1. Need SCO Info - This may be off topic. by cmason32 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    As I said, this may be off-topic, but I need some help and am willing to burn the karma to get the information I need.

    I am a law student looking to write a paper on M$'s licensing of SCO's "code." I am looking for information about M$'s licensing agreement - particularly any credible sources that suggest it was unnecessary for them to do so. In other words, are there any credible sources out there that state there was no other purpose for M$ to license the code other than to help fund SCO's litigation?

    I'm not asking anyone to do the research for me - I was just wonder whether anyone had such information bookmarked or easily available. I'd really appreciate any help, as the point of my paper is to attack both SCO and M$ in the same breath.

    Thanks.
